A double knit hat in fingering yarn with 6 owls on the side and a flower shape on the top. Owls are worked using cables, color changes, and nupps for eyes.

Yarn: 40 grams (170 yds) each of two colors of fingering weight yarn. Shown in Tenderfoot Superfine (75% merino lambswool, 25% polyamide) in colors Linen and Deep Russet.

This pattern assumes a working familiarity with double knitting and willingness to use hard techniques. This pattern uses the following techniques all in double knitting, which are not explained.

• 4 pair x 5 pair cables
• nupps
• lifted increases
• single decreases

As shown, the pattern is repeated 6 times, for a finished unstretched circumference of 21 in and height of 8.5 in, to fit a 23 in circumference head. To resize, you could work fewer/more repeats of the pattern, and/or adjust the spacing between owls.
